Tweetable Quotes
“The way that I teach my children about money being born and raised in New York is a very different story from how I grew up. And, the motivations they have and the things that they see are encouraging and different. And that’s not how I grew up.” (04:07) (Maria)
“I believe in God. Say whatever you want. I believe that you get the confirmation when you are on the right path. And, I think part of it is beginner’s luck, honestly.” (13:01) (Maria)
“I didn’t have that sort of pressure for anything to happen, right? I was like, ‘Look, I just want to prove that I am very good at choosing art – that I’m very good because I’m on top of my game and I can give a lot of value in this service business.” (18:25) (Maria)
“It’s very hard to be creative and not be empathetic.” (32:03) (Maria)
